Getting Settled in

We have had some fun experiences this week.

We woke up one morning to a wet floor from a leaking bathroom sink faucet. The landlady sent a plumber over and he replaced the faucet a couple of days later.

The car battery died and two days later, Mike was able to charge the old battery, drive it to the service center and get the battery replaced.

Nancy tried for the first time to order some books online. They didn't take credit cards, but she was able to order them COD and, thankfully, was at home to pay for them when they arrived a couple of days later.

Mike met with his conversation partner, Balazs. Balazs has finished his schooling and is starting a full time job soon, but he still wants to meet regularly with Mike to continue working on his English skills. This will be helpful to Mike, too, since they speak English for half the time they are together and Hungarian the other half.

Wednesday evening we enjoyed being in a multi-church service with a guest speaker from Germany. Many of the people we have talked with this week say that our Hungarian is even better than when we left, especially Mike's! That is so encouraging to hear!

We are once again noticing that it takes a little more time to handle everyday life in a foreign country. We are thankful, though that things are going well for us.
